Arctic Light

It's weird ... back when I was an undergrad, I used to have problems with insomnia and a really weird sleep schedule, and now that I'm taking classes again, I keep having these intermittent bouts of insomnia a few times a week. Not nearly as bad as before, when I wouldn't sleep for two or three days at a time, but just waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep for hours, if at all.

It's not so much stress as just not being able to stop thinking about what I need to do. I'm a planner and I don't like to have unfinished responsibilities hanging over my head. Classwork is a never-ending series of unfinished responsibilities, and I find myself going around and around in my head on what I still need to do, and not being able to let it go enough to sleep.

Since I'm up anyway, I may as well post on TV. I haven't been watching a whole lot of TV, but it's nice to have a few hours a week when I can make my brain shut up.

( NCIS through 7x06 )

( Supernatural through 5x08 )

( Scrubs through the end of season 3 )

( White Collar 1x01 )

F'list, you've been holding out on me! Why has no one told me about the awesomeness of Scrubs? (Although I swear someone did post about it awhile back -- xparrot maybe?)

I've caught an episode here and there on TV over the years, enough to be vaguely familiar with the two main guys and to get the general idea that it was a fun show, but we just finished up the first disk of season one (most of it tonight) and oh, they are all so impossibly cute! I adore the whole cast, every last one of them! (Though, er, I might have a slight weakness for Dr. Cox. Just a leeeetle bit.) I'm just kind of flailing helplessly at how much character development, affection and sheer adorableness they've managed to pack into eight half-hour episodes, and there's still so much of it to go!
